Japan Part 9 - The Great Buddha in Kamakura


Daibutsu (The Great Buddha) - Kamakura

Kinda caught the Great Buddha "Daibutsu" a bit late in the day, but it was awe-inspiring nonetheless. Seriously, go to Kamakura, its something else.

Amazing, amazing vid! I was at Kamakura last year where my mom and I visited the Great Buddha, eating some ice cream from the vendo machines along the way. It was a great experience. I remember standing right infront of the Buddha and felt, for the first time, being connected with the earth.
